the ground. Ifyou wish to brush it in
just hang your brush behind the drill
and cover the seed as fast as you SOW
it. If you prefer to harrow the seed in,
hang q light harrow behind the drill.

FIFTEEN YEARS.

Mr.. and Mrs. Davis, of Carlyle, Gel
ebrated the fifteenth anniversary of
their wedding last Tuesday evening,
by opening their pleasant home to q
large number of old friends. Much to
our regret We were prevented by other
engagements from being present, but
from those who were so fortunate as to
be.there, we learn what we would have
known befOrehand) that the occasion
was an extremely pleasant one. The
grounds were prettily lighted and ele-
CANT refreshments were served, while
the well known hospitality of the
"bride and groom" made it i'm possible
for anyone to feel otherwise than at
home. The threatening clouds drove
the guests home at an early hour, but
they carried away with them pleasant
memories of the evening, and they
left behind them q large number of
handsome and valuable reminders of
their visit, q complete list of which was
handed us, but which we are obliged
to omit for lack Of space.

Some Answers to Noreon's Questions.
Mr.. Norton wants to know the bes,
way to prepare sod to SOW millet.
have raised millet on sod for years, and
the best way I have ever tried, was to
harrow the sod twice the opposite way
from which broke it, as that will:tend
to pull it back to ita place, where It has
broken and thrown around upon the
last furrow.
The object of narrowing before, is to
crease the sod 50 that the seed will not
all wash down between the edges. ii
will also ill up the space between the
burrows 30 that some of the seed will
not be covered very deep, and some
not at all. Then I harrow two or three
times more the same way ~ 1T first;
always using . smoothing harrow, n q
straight toothed one would tear up the
sod. As to the best crop to follow With
out blowing; I never follow it with
anything without blowing. I used to
follow with another crop Of Killet, but
soon found that for couple Of years
after could not raise much Of any
thing, when did 90, rs it leaves the
ground too loose and exhausts the soil
too much. Millet should never be
grown two years in succession on the
same ground.
Late years I have plowed the ground
about ~ deep again as generally do,
and planted to corn.
l always plant late corn with an
early variety II the season is well along.
Some say that the reason why corn
grows the fastest on fall blowing is.
that corn will not grow very fast until
the roots reach hard ground, In fall
blowing the ground ie harderthan that
pl0wed in the spring, and the roots
reach it sooner. Our own opinion il,
that In fall blowing the ground being
loose, lets in ammonia, and that comes

The earliest broods are now making
rapid growth. Keep them growing

never be made up.
DO you notice some Of your chicks
trailing their wings? Look out for lice.
Examine beneath the wings, on top Of
the head and about the vent, Look
closely and you will find the cause.
1t is safe plan to dust the mother
hen and the broods with some good in
secticide. But don't use sulphur and
lard: mixed. It is good preparation
to kill lice-and the chickens. Presian
or dalmation, carb0lic or other insect
powder, dry sulphur alone. sweet cream
and lard in moderation, or a little

used safely.
